it's simple (no transparent
terminals, multiple modules, etc., etc), but that might be a nice
contrast to all the "walk and talk" .fvwm2rc's out there. It does have
custom pixmaps buttons and titlebar, along with FvwmButtons on the
taskbar...
I'd like
to combine the maximize and restore buttons into one.

The question mark button brings up a form containing choices for all the
FVWM man pages, which launch in their own xterms.

A fairly simple setup, normally used with one window per page, very
easy on the eye, and hardly any decorations to get in your way :)

Fvwm2 integrated with GNOME (HelixCode) on RH 7.0 with FvwmGTK Menus,
FvwmPager swallowed into a gnome-panel and showing Mozilla M18 as the web
browser. GTK theme used is minEgtk.

The setup is like this: FVWM 2.5.7 on a Red Hat 9 box (PIII 500Mhz). I
like the interface to be as simple as possible without losing
functionality. GKrellm, a simple pager, a menu, application windows and
icons. That's it.
Things I would
like to add is some eye-candy (transparancy) and finally get
FvwmTrackFocus.pl working :-) but on the whole I think this setup is nice
to work with.

This is my current favorite fvwm theme. The buttons and gradients
are based on an E fvwm theme which I thought looked quite spiffy.
As you can see I'm playing with FvwmButtons and FvwmTheme. I'm
never totally happy with what I come up with so this current
one has probably changed since this shot was taken.

The basic rules guiding this @fvwm2rc@:

Modal interfaces are evil.

No icons will ever appear on any system I run.

Nothing ever gets dragged, nothing ever gets dropped.

There will be no system controls which are bound to or only
accessible via particular locations on the screen.

Key bindings/keyboard acceleration is your friend.

No Z-order limits on any controls or feature accessibility.

All controls must be accessible and controllable without
requiring prior access (such as by changing z-order or moving a
window out of the way (BAD!)), or to any other particular window
or X or WM widget or device.

The screenshot
shows xmms, gfontsel, rxvt with vim and my FvwmButtons. The three
half-height buttons with the up arrows open up wharf-like button
arrays when pressed.
Menus and title bars are lightly gradiented and the (vector) titlebar
buttons were stolen from an old post to the fvwm mailing list. What
you can't see are all kinds of nifty keyboard shortcuts to popup/hide
mutt (mail reader), switch between windows and desks, etc.

This screenshot demonstrates the WindowShade feature.
Instead of using icons, you can scroll the window up into
the titlebar.
The left buttons on the titlebar are created using vectors.
The right buttons are pixmaps.
All the buttons are user definable which further demonstrates
FVWM's flexibility.

This screenshot is intended to show the versatility of FvwmButtons.
FvwmButtons can swallow programs as well as menu items. There are 3
separate FvwmButton panels active on this desktop. MyBar1 is the
button on the right, and runs xbuffy, which monitors my incoming mail.
MyBar2, the bar across the bottom contains menu items and the
FvwmPager. I have 24 active desktops. The labeling, F1, F2,
etc. tells me which key combination to hit to go to that desktop.
MyBar3, which takes up the bulk of the screen, holds several programs
I constantly run and need quick access to. All 3 bars are easily
iconized and removed from the screen with a simple key stroke designed
specifically for that individual bar, leaving me a clean and open
desktop to run additional programs.

screenshots and information.

I've been using Fvwm for many years. Two years ago I created by own
@fvwm2rc@
from an IRIX-like configuration. Today I looked at the nice
screenshots on the www.fvwm.org site and I'm therefore sending my
screenshot with a dfm icon manager and a transparent aterm on the root window.
